Indeed, most recently in radical collaborations to provoke a hearty high five: Walker tapped Cohen to shoot her S/S 2013 sunglasses collection on some of the most powerful, ineffable faces that frequent his fantastically liberating site on mature style.

Frankly, it is rather disheartening that these women have clearer skin than I do but never mind that. It is so validating to see another form of proof that style is wholly a function of personality. Watching everyone’s favorite sunglasses transcend the boundaries of applicable-for-girls-only and champion the less obvious notion that they might actually function as far greater, prolific lenses on older ladies is a tell-tale sign that much to the dismay of Mark Twain, the clothes (or sunglasses) certainly don’t make the (wo)man. It’s the personality that suits the frames, yo.

But the most important common quality of Karen Walker’s spirit sustains itself through the collaboration, and that is: youthfulness. Joan Didion once said that New York is a city only for the very young. Maybe she just needed a pair of Karen Walker shades.

I just loved this post! Its refreshing to see older ladies wearing such kind of statement style shades. I agree with “It’s the personality that suits the frames”

Ack! The blogs I read are cross-breeding. And I like it.

A really clever campaign by a very clever New Zealand woman! Represent! We kiwi’s have been in love with her designs since she began and I am so glad to see her on the forefront of trends and styles. She is an inspiration to me and this shoot is genius.

get so sad that karen walker sunglasses don’t look good on me!! maybe i need a 10th opinion..

Ineffable is by far one of my favourite words in the world! A gold star also for sound commitment to alliteration and general writing brilliance…well played kid! Oh the shades and campaign ain’t half bad either ‘no’! x

It’s the personality that suits the frames! Well said, and wholly agreed!

Old ladies are my favorite! They exude far more self-confidence than any 19 year old model can, and have the free license to be a little kooky with their style. I can’t wait to be 90 years old, saying whatever I want, wearing whatever I feel, and rocking some hot pink hair…you know…because who’s going to tell me not to?

I love everything about this. Fashion can be super sexist and ageist, especially if you’re a woman, and this is just incredibly refreshing. They look amazing and vibrant, and they work those glasses way better than I ever could. I hope I can be a super fierce old lady with crazy hair colors when I’m their age!

think jews have a very strange face, especially the nose is very bad-looking,kinda scythe-like they say, . They call it ” Ful nasa”. the word “ful” is pronounced like the english word “fuel”. i kind of feel sorry for them, but maybe its the testosterone.. i´ve heard it increases the tissues inside the nose, especially bone mass.

It´s intresting to note that the hebrew work “nasa” can mean both “to marry” and “to lift” and “to desire” among many other verbs..
